Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

This singular experimental drama was developed in collaboration with the mdTV (Music Drama Television) company and is sung rather than spoken, in a somewhat taxing cross between opera and Pennies from Heaven. Set in the 1930s, and based on a true story, it tells of the tragic loss of a recent immigrant child who has wandered off in the night and might well have been found by an indigenous tracker (Pell) but for her father's racial prejudice: 'I'll have no blackfella on my land!'
